Abstract

The invention relates to a device for joining containers, preferably bottles, cans or the like, which arrive slowly in a wide stream on one or more single-track or multi-track, continuously circulating conveyors, along a guide arranged on one side, to a fast- running, pressure-free, closed row of containers, the guide extending away over the conveyor or conveyors, running transversely or in the shape of a curve in relation to its or their direction of transport as far as approximately into the inlet region of a conveyor which transports away the closed row of containers. In order to avoid corotation or projection of parallel-running containers on the central contact line, to get the containers of necessity into gaps, and in order that the desired separation is ensured, it is proposed according to the invention that, in front of or in the inlet region of the conveyor (6) which transports away the closed row (5) of containers (2), at least one roller (7) is arranged resiliently flexibly in such a manner that its outer circumferential surface in its normal position freely projects as far as approximately to the outer circumferential surfaces of the containers (2) in the extensively closed row of the same. The roller (7) is mounted rotatably on one end of a holding arm (8), the other end of which is arranged pivotably in the frame, housing or the like of the device on its side opposite the guide (3) (Figure 1). <IMAGE>
